Local OffRoad Motorbikes Terrorise Locals-Police And Council Fail To Stop Offenders

local offroad motor bike riders are terrorizing locals in the township of Curra,north of Gympie 4570

so far police and council have failed to stop offenders

and locals are fearfull of complaining

LETS HOPE POLICE AND COUNCIL SEE THIS BLOG AND ACT

offenders ride on public roads with a car escort

or on vacant private residential land

or disused roads in residential areas

mostly on weekends

sometimes on Fridays

Curra Estate Road and Clarkson Drive are favourite areas at the moment

Apart from breaking byelaws and vehicle licence term

The noise and riding is a nuisance and spoils the enjoyment of people wishing for a quiet relaxing weekend

It also lowers the value of properties in the area for sale

 

Clarkson Drive Curra 4570 Off Road Motor Bike Riders Terrorize local residents Too Afraid To Complain

One is rumoured to be a local truck driver with 2 children
Another rider follows an escort vehicle on the publick road
Not content to cause a disturbance to neighbours on their own property, they ride anywhere in the locality
When this photo was taken the rider rode around in a frenzy in pouring rain to annoy /intimidate /neighbours for 15 minutes or more

just like a child tantrum who had their sweets taken away for being naughty.2 children on their motorbikes were following dad learning to be anti social and break local byelaws
one wonders if child welfare would be interested in how the children are being taught to behave so

UrGent News -House Roof Insulation-DONT BUY A HOUSE WITH ROOF INSULATION

-House Roof Insulation-Urgent news

Dont buy a house with roof insulation-WHY ?

the reason given is

1.electrical wires in the roof must breath else heat up and catch fire

2. if roof insulation has been placed over electrical wires in a roof--you can see what eventually will happen

3.electrical wires covered up not only risk catching fire, but their carrying capacity is reduced by 50 per cent

4.bats may contain fibres that can damage lungs and cause disease

5.especially if the bat has been cut and not resealed

6.electrical fittings such as light bulb fittings should have safety protection around them

SO YOU CAN SEE IT Is NOT JUST A MATTER OF PUTTING INSULATION BATS INTO A ROOF

Dont buy a house with roof insulation

if your house has roof insulation get it checked out with above points in mind

Let the inspectors KNOW that you KNOW

Even get bats taken out and dumped

one person has told me they cant get any contractor to install bats in his roof-- because the contractors insist in covering over electrical cables

Qld Unions Worried Over Fed Election Loss

Labor-affiliated unions say they are close to triggering a special state conference to debate Queensland's controversial asset sale policy, requiring just a handful more signatures on a petition.
Eleven unions representing more than 45 per cent of the union votes within the Queensland branch of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) have signed a petition seeking a special state conference.
It was sent to the ALP state secretary and president on Thursday.
They need 50 per cent of union delegates to state conference to sign up to demand the conference, but Electrical Trades Union (ETU) state secretary Peter Simpson said he was confident they would quickly get the extra five per cent of signatures required.
"We wouldn't be trying to call one if we didn't (think we could block the asset sales)," he told reporters in Brisbane.
"At the end of the day we're not out to embarrass ourselves if there's no prospect of turning it around. There's still hope."
Mr Simpson said he wanted to end the "damaging" asset sales issue before it spilled over into the federal election.
Australian Manufacturing Workers Union (AMWU) state secretary Andrew Dettmer, who is also the ALP state president, said the issue of privatisation was a major concern to his union and he hoped to reach an agreement with the government "through fair dinkum negotiations".
ALP state secretary Anthony Chisholm, who received the petition, said he would follow through on the petition process.
"The Labor Party has a process to go through under its rules following the tabling of Mr Simpson's letter, that is now what we will do," he said.
But a senior Labor source described the petition as a "media stunt" aimed at causing "maximum damage".
"They still don't have the numbers and there is no prospect of a conference happening," the source said.
Deputy opposition leader Lawrence Springborg used the petition in parliamentary Question Time to ask Ms Bligh to abandon her privatisation plans, given she had "lost the confidence of not only Queenslanders, but Labor's own rank and file".
But Ms Bligh said it was not the party that led government.
"There is no doubt that leadership from time to time requires people in my position to take on some of the interests within their own party," she said.
"And I have what it takes, and my colleagues in my caucus have what it takes, to put the interests of Queenslanders first."
She said Mr Dettmer and others were entitled to sign whatever petition they liked.
"It is the leader of the parliamentary caucus that runs the government, it is not the president of the party ... that rings you and tells you what to do," she said.

Big Brother Is Here Now 2010

An Orwellian world for Big Brother

Around the world, a near invisible network of RFID wireless tags is being put on almost every type of consumer item. Yet this network is being built with little public knowledge or consent.
 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PR Log (Press Release)Jan 25, 2010 – An Orwellian world for Big Brother
http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_5473.shtml

The Council of Europe document ‘Internet Governance and critical Internet resources’ states (p.7) that “ . . . the Internet of Things refers to the seamless connection of devices, sensors, objects, rooms, machines, vehicles, etc, through fixed and wireless networks. Connected sensors, devices and tags can interact with the environment and send the information to other objects through machine-to-machine communication . . . The Semantic Web promotes this synergy: even agents that where not expressly designed to work together can transfer data among themselves when the data come with semantics.”

Pachube (pronounced Patch-bay) is a platform that helps individuals and organisations connect to and build the ‘internet of things’ and enable buildings, interactive environments, networked energy meters, virtual worlds and sensor devices to “talk” and “respond” to each other. Pachube, according to the founder, Usman Haque, is a vision inspired by Dutch architect Constant Nieuwenhuys and his 1956 proposal for a visionary society, New Babylon.

IT company Hewlett Packard intends to create a Central Nervous System for the Earth (CeNSE), consisting of a trillion nanoscale sensors and actuators embedded in the environment and connected via an array of networks with computing systems, software and services to exchange their information among analysis engines, storage systems and end users. Ericsson, the Mobile telecommunications company, predicts that 50 billion devices will be wirelessly connected in 2020 and Cisco envisages the next generation of the Internet as having 1,000 times as many devices as the current Internet.

Sense Networks collects billions of data points about people’s locations from cell phones, taxi cabs, cameras, GPS devices, WiFi positioning, cell tower triangulation, RFID and other sensors to locate people and help predict human behaviour on a macro scale. This is the original text of the CitySense proposal submitted to the NSF Computing Research Infrastructure program in 2006.

Tracking and locating people and objects which are constantly moving is said to have become more important to the daily routine of individuals, commercial organisations, the emergency services [and governments]. GlobalTag is the first wireless tracking device that incorporates GPS, RFID, Sensors and Satellite Communications. And the Viewpoint i2g can track assets and/or personnel whether they are indoors or out. ViewPoint integrates the interior positioning system (IPS) data of the ViewPoint system with data from global positioning system (GPS) sources. This integrated IPS and GPS information can be accessed from popular mapping services, including GoogleEarth and Microsoft Virtual Earth.

Considering that the doors of a many cars can be locked and unlocked with a signal, how long will it be before similar technology is applied to the doors and windows of all buildings, including each and every home. Each building will probably have a receptor which receives a signal and activates the locking of doors and windows. The receptors on homes in a housing estate, for instance, could be switched on or off, via the Internet of Things, in a manner similar to the way that a telecommunications company can disconnect some landline telephones in a street while leaving the other landlines in that street connected. Sometime in the future, people with anti-social tendencies may end up being locked up in their own homes while their fridges, lights and other household appliances are controlled by Big Brother through the Internet of Things.

A recent study for the European Commission entitled ‘Towards a future Internet’, stresses the view that much of the governance issues for the future Internet are related to political will and leadership . . . A balance must be struck between overregulation and under-regulation, a safe society and a surveillance society. The future Internet should not be designed for technocrats, governments and businesses, but for ordinary citizens, while protecting their security and privacy and limiting government surveillance and Orwellian-like control. The report goes on to conclude that the current Internet administration has limited transparency and that the Internet has become increasingly ubiquitous and grown to become a critical infrastructure, on both a technical and socio-economic level and that in the future, there will be multiple Internets, rather than the single Internet we have today.

This article states that “A new Internet (GENI) could ultimately mean replacing networking equipment and rewriting software on computers, at a cost of billions of dollars. But any new network is likely to run parallel with the existing one for some time, with individuals and businesses gradually migrating over as they need more advanced applications.”

In 2002, W3C founder Sir Tim Berners-Lee raised what is known as ‘Issue 25’ regarding ‘What to say in defense of principle that deep linking is not a legal act?.’ By the end of 2009, Issue 25 had still not been resolved. W3C members include the UK and US governments, so Issue 25 says a great deal about the true spirit of ‘Open Government’ when W3C are willing to go ahead with the semantic web and linking open data without firstly finding out if their activities are legal or illegal.

Page 13 of the EIFFEL Report states, “We are beginning to cluster the world around us, but we are only at early stages. Newspapers were a mechanism for filtering, organizing and limiting information that otherwise would overwhelm us. With the demise of newspapers, what elements of the almost infinite flow of bits will bring order that is reflective of the human mind and human social structure? . . . In the current economic and political situation, no country can make decisions that will have only a local effect. There is no more isolation. Given that, one must consider the relationship between the Internet and governance. And perhaps even more importantly, the Internet may change forever governance of, by or for a people. Blogging and cell phone cameras that can transmit photos are having profound effects on the capability of individuals to constrain their governments at times when the governments may not want that.”

Arrest of the Assyrian leader of the Kermanshah Church in Iran



By Dan Wooding
Founder of ASSIST Ministries



KERMANSHAH, IRAN

(ANS) – The Farsi Christian News Network (www.fcnn.com) is reporting the arrest of the Rev. Wilson Issavi, the Assyrian leader of the Evangelical Church of Karmanshah in Iran.
Rev. Wilson Issavi
The news source says that the pastor was arrested on February 2, 2010, by local agents of state security while visiting one of his old friends in Shahin Shahr, Isfahan, and moved to an undisclosed location.

“The security agents entered the house unannounced and took him and the host couple and a visiting lady away,” said the FCCN story. “Later on, the host’s wife was released. Since the day of the arrest it has been impossible for friends and family to find out about the whereabouts or well being of Rev. Issavi.

The story says that the Rev. Wilson Issavi is the serving pastor of the Assyrian Evangelical Church in Karmanshah, which is an old and historical building in dire need of repair, and is not been extensively used, except for weekly Christian worship.

“On January 2, 2010, one month before the arrest of Pastor Wilson Issavi, after forced entry into his house by a number of plainclothes local security agents, the Kermanshah Church was sealed and ordered not to be reopened,” the FCCN story stated.”

Despite the fact that FCNN correspondents had immediately become aware of this “abhorring invasion of a small and only church in the west of the country,” after a telephone and direct enquiry, Pastor Wilson had requested FCNN not to publicize the news “lest the authorities are provoked into inflicting more harm and hoping to find a reasonable dialogue and reopen the church!”

FCNN says that it had respected the wishes of Rev. Issavi and held back until now on releasing the news.

“This cowardly act was perpetrated by the security agents after they had called him on his mobile [phone], enquiring about his whereabouts, and being sure that he was not home to defend his house and his household,” said the FCCN story. “As stated by family members to friends, the security agents had ransacked the house in his absence and had taken away much of his personal possessions.”

The story went on to say, “The gray haired Rev. W. Issavi is known to friends and foes alike as a meek, humble and tireless servant of the church leading a very modest life and serving all those who needed his prayer and assistance. He has served in the region for many years along with his family, hoping to keep the beautiful and historic Kermanshah church building open as a house of prayer.

“He has lived and served in the region respecting all the pronounced laws of the country and despite the suffocating and inhibitive yet unwritten rules enforced by the government and despite numerous incidents of harassment kept a very low profile not to give any excuse to the authorities to quench the dwindling lights of this church and stop Christian worship for very small remaining minority of Assyrian and Armenian Christians.

“No wonder that because of the content and unassuming character of Rev. Wilson, there was no attention given to the church’s many woes not the least its serious financial need and its state of disrepair. The now sadly closed Kermanshah church, one of the very few remaining open throughout the country, whose rulers claim to rule with equality and justice, is remote from the attention given to the capital and the many visiting Christian tourists. There were no wealthy visitors to the church in Kermanshah!

“Rev. Wilson was tirelessly working on two fronts. First, with the authorities and local government to receive necessary permission and, secondly, contacting many parishioners who have immigrated to the west in order to raise the required funds to do the repair. Progress on both fronts was slow to come!”

As thoroughly investigated by FCNN, the “cowardly act of invasion of the privacy of his home and subsequent sealing and closure of the church and Rev. Wilson’s meekness and humility and longsuffering, not willing to publicize the news,” had, said FCCN, “emboldened the authorities to seal the fate of this historical church once and for all by frightening him off the region and then plotting to completely take over the building. Is there any other reason to arrest him in another city while he was serving transparently in his parish?”

Informed sources and friends told FCNN correspondent in Isfahan that before the Islamic revolution, Rev. Issavi was employed by the Helicopter Industries of Esfahan; hence he has many friends and acquaintances there which he kept his friendship alive by visiting them irregularly.

“At the time of his detention, he was a guest in the house of one of his friends in Shahin Shahr. The security agents swarmed into the house with no arrest warrant or even showing their badges and took him away along with the host and other guest and also took much personal possession of the host without any explanation. His very distressed family have not been given any explanation about this inhuman conduct or his whereabouts,” added the FCCN story.

The Committee of Iranian Christians, which is part of the Iranian Human Rights Campaign, is strongly protesting against this “inhuman and unlawful arrest” of the pastor which they says “has been conducted without any legal or judicial proceedings and indeed without any conceivable reason.

The director of the Committee of Iranian Christians has condemned what they called “this deplorable act” and have demanded his immediate release “considering his age and state of health.”

A spokesperson said, “As a citizen of the country, albeit in the Christian minority, he deserves to be respected and receive all the legal and judicial care and protection.”

FCCN said, “It is ironic that that in the last two months, while this act of injustice is allowed and perpetrated against a small law abiding and praying Christian minority, the Islamic Republic of Iran delegates at the United Nations Human Rights Forum on Monday, February 15, 2010, advocated the testimonial of an Assyrian delegate, whose true identity is yet undisclosed, that the Christian minority in Iran enjoys full and unequalled freedom and lives in peace!”

The Committee of Iranian Christians says that it demands that the Iranian Ministry of Justice disclose the whereabouts of the detainee and inform why he has been arrested, meanwhile it says that “all Iranian Christians demand the unconditional and immediate release of Rev. Issavi.”

FCCN concluded its story by saying, “It is noteworthy that, in line with closure of churches and also shortly before the inhibition imposed on ‘Jamaate Rabani’ (Assemblies of God) church to stop Friday evening meetings (which have been conducted from the day the church was inaugurated!), the Assyrian Pentecostal church of ‘Shahre Ara’ district of Tehran was closed in March 2009 by direct threats of the government and most regretful collaboration of ‘Jonathan Beit Kolia’, the representative of the Assyrian minority in the parliament of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

Note: Kermanshah is the capital city of Province of the same name, located 525 kilometers (326.219 miles) from Tehran in the western part of Iran and about 120 kilometers (74.5645 miles) from the border of Iraq. Kermanshah has a moderate and mountainous climate. The estimated population of the city is 822,921 (year 2005) and the majority of people speak Persian with Kermanshahi accent. It is only the older generation that speaks the Kurdish dialect of Kermanshah.

Why Wont Aust Fed And State Govt Treat Australians Equaly

WHY WONT STATE AND FEDERAL GOVTS TREAT AUSTRALIANS EQUALY

One can only think they are

racist

prejudiced

ruling class to keep other classes in place by denying equality

The proposed Australian peoples party Will treat all Australians equaly

Sad Fact About Responsability--The Buck Stops Here-Fed Govt

Yes the debate over the house insulation programme continues

The minister said he acted on advice--soon as possible

There was/was not a delay in the info getting to him

There was /was not a delay in carrying out the ministers orders

The minister is still responsable

Even though public servant are ordered to carry out the orders and see that they are carried out

You just cant sign papers and sit back and relax

YOU HAVE TO MAKE PERIODIC INSPECTIONS PERSONALY TO SEE THINGS ARE CARRIED OUT AS REQUIRED. AND TARGETS ARE MET AND COMPLAINTS SEEN TO

WITH RESPONSABILITY YOU CANNOT DEPEND ON ANYONE 100 per cent

HUMANS MAKE MISTAKES AND ARE LAZY AND FORGETFULL AND CUT CORNERS

The Fed govt is unfortunate it cant choose its workforce

It has to have the public servants that are there

Free enterprise also are worse

WHEN WILL THE FED GOVT CARRY OUT THE WORK THEMSELVES WITH QUALLIFIED UNION LABOUR-SET UP INSTRUMENTALITIES TO CARRY OUT FED GOVT PROGRAMMES

GET RID OF STATE OR LOCAL GOVT TO MAKE ADMIN EASIER AND MORE EFFECTIVE

Then there is the question no one has raised yet

WAS THE PROGRAMME SABATAGED by some one?

Curra Road Rage Continues-Two Little Boys fight--At Rate/Tax /Payers Expense

Yes, you wouldnt believe it

Somewhere two goverment depts cant agree

Yesterday the speed limit was 60kph

Today its 80kph pluss the road verge is cut

Nothing unusual you might say

Except every month or so the speed limit reverses back to what it was

This has been going on over the past year

80-60-80-60-80 adinfinitem

So who decides the speed limit and keeps changing their mind

At tax or rate payers expense

For example

hire ute per day = 100 dollars

pluss petrol= 20 dollars

pluss labour==20 per hr

pluss executive order  =50 per hour

pluss inspection =20 per hour

Total =210 dollars rate/taxpayers money per change

About 4 changes in last yr =4x 210=840 wasted tax payers money

And it still continues

Thats without the road safety signs run over or chopped up by whoever cuts the road verges

WAKE UP SOMEONE

ELECTIONS ARE DUE THIS YEAR

Oz Minerals In Successful Recovery Mode

Remember last year when shares were dirt cheap

Most people didnt have much money to spend

Companies had lots of assets

But not much operating cash

Financiers refused to lend--on purpose--to break companies--then buy their assets cheap

That was part of the planned world recession

Thats why some companies can give employees 20 million dollars individual boneses per yr

On top of their annual salary

Its called wealth transfer from the poor to the rich

OZ MINERALS SOMEHOW SURVIVED, WITH THE HELP OF THE CHINESE GOVT BUYING ASSETS OF THE COMPANY, AND FED GOVT SUPPORT

Oz Minerals is now back on its feet, with a good turnover and bank ballance

Mostly due to restructuring and new management

The older management probably needed a rest after all the stress and strain

Christians Held In Iran

[http://www.persecution.org]

Urgent Prayer Needed: Nine Christians Arrested in Iran

Dear everyone 
On February 2, Rev. Wilson Issavi was arrested by Iranian state security agents in
Isfahan, Iran, an incident that has recently hit mainstream Christian media. 
However, ICC sources have confirmed that there were an additional eight other
Christians arrested along with Rev. Issavi who are currently imprisoned and awaiting
charges.  The names and whereabouts of the remaining eight Christians must remain
undisclosed for security purposes. 
 
Rev. Issavi was visiting a friend’s home in Shahin Shahr, Isfahan when state
security raided the house unannounced.  Rev. Issavi, his hosts and others were
apprehended by the security agents and immediately taken to prison.  Friends and
family are deeply concerned as they are unable to contact Rev. Issavi.  The location
and physical condition of the nine Christians is unknown.
 
The arrest of Rev. Issavi was a devastating blow to the Iranian Christian
community.  Rev. Issavi is known among friends as a humble and devoted servant of
the church.  He is considered a man of prayer who has lived a modest life to better
assist those in need.
 
The arrests occurred after the Iranian government forced the closure of Rev.
Issavi’s church, the Evangelical Church of Kermanshah, on January 2.  Before its
closure, the Evangelical Church of Kermanshah was among the few remaining open
churches in the country. 
 
Iranian Christians are under constant threat of discrimination, imprisonment,
torture, and even execution by the Iranian government which severely restricts
religious freedom.
 
Please pray:

-          That Rev. Wilson Issavi and the eight other believers will be released
from prison.
 
-          That the Holy Spirit will give them strength and comfort amidst any
torture or mistreatment they may face.
 
-          That the Lord will give strength to their families.

Sincerely in Christ,

Shirley Finn Murder cont

CURRENT STORY
We will give you the current standing of the FIFTH ESTATE enforcement arm.
To begin with Channel Nine has announced that one of its New Programs for this year is UNDERBELLY. The Golden MILE. This will give you a real insight as to how it works in W.A.
We have received a huge amount of new information from around Australia and indeed the world  on the Shirley FINN Murder. Some of this information will also be published.
The W.A. police force has had a few Top ranking Officers leave their positions and be replaced with New Blood. These new officers are very well qualified and persons of honour and integrity. They are not there to do any favours for anyone but will ensure a fair go and a level playing field.
The strength of the FIFTH Estate is waning and the ability of the BENT ones trying to keep its strength up has also waned dramatically. They are fraying at the edges. Programs such as the one I previously mentioned, several books being written and people coming out of the woodwork to tell their stories, will ensure a Golden period of honesty in Policing is ahead for W.A.
The Police force has also become more academically qualified. Along with education comes fear of disgrace, respect for both discipline and rank. Also PRIDE in achievement and success. Besides that natural justice of old age creating New Born Christians wanting to square the ledger before it is too late, will take its Toll. Mens Rea GUILTY MIND is also taking  its TOLL. I believe that JUSTICE is slowly taking over from the JUSTUS system that has ruled this State since the Brutal Slaying of Shirley FINN.

Perth Murders

UK link in WA serial murders?

One of Australia̢۪s longest-running serial murder investigations, the Claremont killings in Perth, has taken a new twist with the emergence of a suspect in Britain. The 35-year-old British man, who has been charged with the brutal murder of an 18-year-old girl, lived in WA at the time of the three unsolved Claremont murders. And there are intriguing similarities between the Perth murders and the killing in Britain. Perth police have asked for DNA records of the British suspect and are reportedly preparing to fly to London to question him. But if he does turn out to be the elusive Claremont serial killer, it will raise serious questions about how he was able to slip through the net, given he had been arrested for a sex offence in Perth about six years ago and deported.
Mark Dixie, a pub chef, was arrested in June and charged with the murder of 18-year-old model Sally Anne Bowman in the south London suburb of Croydon in 2005. He had been caught after providing a DNA sample to police following a pub punch-up earlier this year. The DNA sample tied him to the Bowman murder and an incident in south London in 2001, when he allegedly masturbated in front of a woman making a call from a public phone box.
The possible link between Dixie and the Claremont murders was revealed by a south London newspaper last week.
Sally Anne Bowman fits the profile of the three young women killed in Perth. All were attractive young blondes. And all were killed on their way home after being out at nightspots with friends.
Sally Anne was knifed to death, then sexually assaulted not far from her home. Bite marks were found on her body. Only two of the bodies of the Claremont murderer have been found. Police have always refused to reveal details of the cause of death or the injuries they suffered. Sarah Spiers, 18, disappeared in January 1996 and her body has never been found. Jane Rimmer, 23, was murdered in August 1996 and Ciara Glennon, 27, was killed in March 1997. Perth police have also always refused to say whether DNA of their killer was recovered from the bodies, although this seems likely because DNA testing has since been used to eliminate a number of suspects. It would also explain why Dixie̢۪s DNA samples are being sent to Perth for testing.
According to the Perth Sunday Times, Dixie used the alias Shane Turner while working as a chef in Perth and other areas of WA in the 1990s. He became an illegal immigrant when he overstayed his visa and was eventually caught when he exposed himself to a woman in a telephone box about six years ago — the same type of crime he allegedly committed in London in 2001. He was deported back to the UK about six years ago.
WA police will only say that their contact with London police over Dixie was â€Å“standard practice of looking at perpetrators of major crimes and their possible links to offences that occurred in WA during their time here”. London police are believed to have already interviewed former friends of Dixie’s in WA.
If Dixie proves to be the Claremont serial killer, it will solve one of the intriguing aspects of the case — why the string of abductions and murders suddenly stopped. Most serial killers keep offending until they are caught.
Perth police had all but given up on ever catching the Claremont killer. In November 2004 a special panel comprising two Australian, two British and one US criminal experts was assembled to review all the evidence gathered to date in the investigation.  In September last year the Macro taskforce which had been working on the killings was scaled back and the investigation handed to a new cold case unit.
